Please disallow race based threads in the Off topic Forum

or for that matter anywhere else.

Nothing can be more divisive than people making observations about races. It brings more deep seated emotions than politics and even perhaps religion. Both those subjects are off limits according to the rules in the off topic forum and I would ask that race be also for the very same reason.

When you read threads where people are making statements like "blacks are the only race that ever riots", "blacks play the victim card" (as if you can lump everyone in a race together) along with "blacks this" and "whites this" its highly inflammatory and frankly the only reason there are not major blow outs in that section is because there are very few minorities on this forum.

It just makes the place seem very racist having people not only freely spew such things but seeing others back them up. I respectfully ask that you add race as a prohibited subject for the very same reason you have added religion and politics. I suppose it might take subjects like the Trayvon case off the table but I don't think anyone should care as if we do not hear enough about those cases elsewhere.
